About Torreblanca, Torrevieja
Torrevieja is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca.
What are the purchase costs on top of the asking price?
As a resale in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries ITP transfer tax at 9% of the purchase price, rising to 11% on the entire value above €1,000,000. Note that tax is charged on the higher of the price paid and the property's official reference value, so treat any figure based on the asking price as a minimum. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet the region's conditions (for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence) — worth checking before you budget. On top of ITP, allow for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800) and legal fees (typically 1% of the purchase price plus VAT).
Can non-residents get a mortgage on this property?
Spanish lenders generally offer non-residents mortgages covering up to 60–70% of the purchase price or valuation, whichever is lower, so a deposit of 30–40% is typically required. Variable and fixed rates currently sit in the 3.5–4.5% range, though individual offers vary by lender and applicant profile. We can connect you with independent mortgage brokers familiar with the Torrevieja market.
What are the ongoing running costs?
Community fees are €37 per month, covering maintenance of the communal pool and shared areas. The annual IBI (council tax) is €210. There is no basura (refuse collection charge) recorded for this listing — confirm the current figure with the local town hall. Buildings insurance and utilities are additional and will depend on usage.
Can I view the property remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to Torreblanca immediately. Our agents can walk through the property live via video call, covering all rooms, the rooftop solarium, the entrance patio and the communal pool area. To arrange either an in-person or video viewing, contact us directly and we will confirm a time that suits you.
What is the rental potential after renovation?
Torreblanca's position 1,200 metres from La Mata Beach gives a renovated property here strong short-term holiday rental potential, particularly during the spring and summer season. Torrevieja municipality requires landlords to register with the Comunitat Valenciana's tourist accommodation register and display a licence number before letting. Rental income will depend on the quality of the renovation, furnishing standard and platform pricing strategy — we recommend speaking to a local lettings agent for realistic occupancy and yield expectations.
What does the purchase process involve?
You will first need a Spanish tax identification number (NIE), which can be obtained at a local police station or through a Spanish consulate in your home country. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is typically signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), at which point a further deposit — commonly 10% of the agreed price — is paid and both parties are contractually committed. The transaction is then completed before a notary, at which point the balance is transferred and the title deed (escritura) is signed and registered. Using an independent solicitor throughout is strongly recommended.
